Oracle Park on a Thursday night, the bay doing that thing where the fog rolls in just as the lights come on. Got a whiskey in one hand and an empty seat beside me — the view's great but the company's lacking. Tell me you're a baseball fan.

Back from the morning run and the city's still half asleep. Now comes the real question — which watch earns a Wednesday at the clinic. Tell me your pick before I make the wrong one.
Free National Parks tomorrow and I'm already half out of these sheets thinking about Muir Woods at dawn. Come wander those trails with me.
The brisket's been on low smoke for six hours and the neighborhood smells like someone's trying to make up for every bad weeknight dinner at once. Sunday was made for this — standing over fire with a drink, no tie, no schedule, no rush. Come over before it's all gone.
Summer of Love weekend at the waterfront and the clinic's the last thing on my mind. Jefferson Airplane raised me right — I know when to show up for a party. Come find me down at the pier.
Friday morning and the hardest call I'll make before noon is which shirt to wear to the clinic. Everything else today is someone else's face — this one's mine. Tell me I'm picking the right one.
Morning run through the park and I've already got that good kind of ache in my legs. Forty-five and still keeping up with the kids on the trail — barely. You should see me when I'm not out of breath.
The tie came off before the first pour. Thursday evenings are for good whiskey and better company — just haven't found the second one yet.
Between consults, sleeves already rolled up, studying someone's before-and-after imaging like it's a canvas I get one shot at. The funny thing about rebuilding faces is you start seeing architecture everywhere — cheekbones, jawlines, the way light falls on bone. Hard to turn that eye off, even on yourself.
Spent the afternoon at Pistahan and came home with lumpia grease still on my fingers and a drumbeat stuck in my head. The city does this thing where every neighborhood throws its own party and you forget you ever felt lonely here. Still humming.
